HC Deb 11 March 1985 vol 75 cc69-70W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether pensions payable to British pensioners in Canada are frozen at the rate of pension which applied on the date when they left the United Kingdom.

Mr. Whitney

Retirement and widows pensions are payable to British pensioners in Canada at the rates which were current when they left the United Kingdom, or when they first became entitled if they were living abroad at that time.
